Vapor Lock ? 1979 K-10

I have a 1979 K-10 w/ 305-4bbl . Eldelbrok intake and carb. Stock fuel system. My question is, after the engine warms up and I shut it off, it is very difficult for it to restart. I have a clean inline fuel filter which during this attempted restart, there is no fuel going to the carb. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

that carb is pretty much the old carter abs they had the same problem i had that same problem does it start much better if you hold it to the floor?? Mine always does install a 1/2 in or 3/4 in phenolic spacer whats happening is the fuel is boiling over and flooding the engine.
